May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Yay. No school........ (please note heavy sarcasm).

Worst thing about summer is all the ruttin' teenagers takin' up valuable space, not to mention oxygen, and actin' like I owe them somethin'.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.


It would be super nice if school was out for summer, but I'm here, pounding my forehead against Statistics homework. I hate this class. Fortunately, I found out today that my calculator can do a lot of the operations for me, so I might be able to make it through the rest of the class. Sure would have been nice if the teacher had mentioned it, though, when I asked him about midpoint deviations. Grar.
I know I had a reason to take this class, I just can't recall what it was at this moment...


I do not need the written code of a spiritual belief to act like a decent human being.

School is indeed out for the summer. It's giving me a chance to catch up on all the video games that I had to neglect to get my projects finished this year.

I got an A though, so I suppose it was worth it.

Now to cram as many games in as I can before I need to start familiarising myself with Java for when Uni starts up in September.

Oooh.. could I get a copy of that? I'm going to have to crunch on some stats eventually too. (Not just the two tailed T tests and Simpson's Diversity index.. or was that Shannon-Weiner..?)

Home safe and sound. Hugs attained. Child has grown noticeably. Provided the grades are good enough that's both the field work courses out of the way for the degree and I'll never have to go outside again ever. (I think they may have broken me permanently. I'll let you know when I stop itching...)

Oh em gee, that would be fantastic.
It's not even that it's written in math, it's that it's written in statistics. The same term means three different things, with its own formula. And those formulas can be really weird. I actually understand quite a few algebraic formulas, but this stats crap seems to be literally fantastical. "Sum this up and square it, then subtract the square of the mean (which can be three different things all by itself) and then you get this number that may be able to tell you the range of typical data." Why does this work? I can't seem to find a reason, it just sort of does. Obviously someone had to come up with this some time, and presumably they did it with solid math... Presumably. I can't make heads or tails of what solid math it's all taken from, though. We haven't been shown reverse engineering of the process. I need my reverse engineering, man, or I have a hell of a time remembering the process.

school may be out...but the learning continues! My epic garden is teaching me a lot this year about self-sufficiency, where to plant what (don't plant cucumbers too close to the beans as they will grow all OVER them..)..and next year...a taller garden fence as deer and other critters seem to love the same veggies I do!

Deer are just rabbits on stilts.

My aunt's yard looks like a "vegetable gulag", but it (mostly) works.


(Magics up a round of mixed-currant martinis using the black, red, and white berries she just picked from her yard.)

I may have missed my roses, but I've gotten back in time for the berries! The black raspberries should be ready in full force any day now. They come on so heavy that even the birds can't get them all no matter how hard you both try.

We're loading the PODS containers. Still haven't closed on the house, but it's looking promising. We've even told our son that we might get the pool opened in time for his birthday party.
Boychild is, btw, within two inches of my height now and his hands are as big as mine. The B-day is in two weeks, so I told him if he's going to be taller than me by the time he's 12 he'd better hustle.
(Yes MsA, you too will be staring at an increasingly hairy, more deeply voiced, starting to hug you sideways near-teenager in the not too distant future. Grab all the hugs, hand holding, cuddles, and tickle-fests you can while it lasts. I'd swear he was only five last week.)

So I'll just be taking calculus in person for the next five weeks. (Ahem.. withdrawn in disgrace from the online version.)

We've got the PODS mostly packed up with just furniture and a few other things to go, plus appliances. Hopefully we'll close early this week instead of late this week or early next, because I really hate camping even when it's in my house.

It's 1:38pm here. Closing's at 3pm. I also have a Calculus exam tomorrow for which I need to study.

I shall now hyperventilate and faint.


But not before I pour everyone in the bar a drink to celebrate the imminent closing.

I shall start with myself.

Not unpacked, but moved.

Pool's being opened as I type this, should be ready for swimming any day now.. which is good because it's going to hit the 90s this week with a heat index of over 100, and AC is not normally a necessity of life so we're a little under-equipped to cope with it.
Ice. We've got a big bag of ice and a lot of lemonade ready to go!

Baking a cake today. Turned out it was a flourless cake. I'm not confident it turned out, we'll see tomorrow.

The filling involves orange curd (which I made last night) and mascarpone.

I know that Google allows phone calls through the interwebs and they have a limited number of area codes, so it could be them or some other company...

...and here.

@HK: Thought maybe a thread in 11th Hour's honor would be nice for two reasons -- it would catch some of the old-timers eyes and it would be a nice place to leave a note (besides the 11th Hour thread) that 11th Hour's friend could go to and have a spot to see/print out toasts and tributes from.
But then again, I be weird.
